How can I copy a type from one assembly to another, currently I'm
doing this:
var t = assemblyDefA.MainModule.GetType("some name");
assemblyDefB.MainModule.Types.Add(t);
but I get "Type already attached".
Basically, you can't attach an existing instance (type, method, etc.)
that has already been attached to one assembly to a new assembly. You
have to clone the object instead, (deep-)copying its full state, which
is what we do in il-repack. The cloning methods are *not* part of cecil
itself: like Jb wrote, it involves taking decisions about the references
and we know these decisions in il-repack (where we know which types to
merge and which not to).
